Abstract

Introduction: ceramic surface conditioning for bracket bonding is a challenging procedure and laser devices may represent an effective alternative. However, there is some controversy in this regard. Objetive: to perform a systematic review of studies which assess the bond strength of brackets to laser-conditioned ceramics. Materials and methods: an electronic search was conducted in the Pubmed, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science databases following the PRISMA criteria for systematic reviews. The search strategy used was: (laser*) AND (bond* OR adhes*) AND (ceramic* OR porcelain*) AND (strength*) AND (bracket* OR orthod*) with no temporal o language limit. Results: after applying the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 17 publications were included. Five different lasers were identifi ed. There were a wide variety of laser parameters and experimental protocols. The results of the studies show heterogeneity being the Ti:Sapphire laser bond strength values the highest. For the rest of the lasers there is lack of consensus. Risk of bias of the publications was found to be medium-high. Conclusions: lasers can be recommended as an alternative for bracket-ceramic bonding. Ti:Sapphire laser provides higher bond strengths than the rest of lasers and it is less damaging for the ceramic surfaces. It is necessary to standardize the methodology of the bracket-ceramic adhesion studies and to establish the most appropriate parameters for each laser.
